UPDATE:  Still Available

(01/15/2013) This runs, but needs some work.

“This is a 1962 Willys Jeep, runs, mostly stock except radio (with cd player) and gauges.
4 wheel drive appears to work (I got stuck until I put it in 4 low).
Needs brake work as it leaks out the brake fluid over time.
Needs upholstery work on the front seat, other seats have already been re-done.

For a full price offer I will include a receiver rack from Warrior Products and a tow bar.
Delivery is possible up to 50 miles away or you can drive it home.”

UPDATE:  Alex makes a good argument that these images are more likely on the Mediterranean rather than in the Arromanches,  which is an area in Northwestern France.

Here’s another round of images from the Library and Archives of Canada.

Here’s a shot of a MB Slat Grille, however no description information was available:

Here’s another image with no description.  I thought the blacked out numbers were interesting.

17 Year Old Nate Completes a Restoration

February 24, 2013 • CATEGORIES: CJ-3A, Features • TAGS: . This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  This was originally posted 11/14/2010

Started at age 14, Nate completed his beautiful build this past Easter.  There are a variety of young mechanics working on builds who ping me with questions and comments, so I think it will be a great motivation to them that Nate completed his build. He sets a good example of what hard work can achieve no matter the age.  Congrats Nate!

Nate writes, “I’ve been reading ewillys for about 1 1/2 to 2 years now ….  I fell in love with this jeep when my dad brought it home when I was 8. It was the first first vehicle I learned to drive. I started restoring it when I was 14 in Sept. 2007 (now 17) and the actual jeep was finished on Easter Sunday this past April, 2010. I got the jeep the way I like it last week with the original style soft top. It was a father-son (mostly son) project. I sandblasted the whole frame, and probably spent a week block sanding the body. We made a few modifications: 10” drums, 12v electrical system, overdrive and Cutlas hubs. I got the top from New Life Canvas. I didn’t skimp on anything. I put stainless steel brake lines in, a new harness from Walcks and a lot of original parts from my donor jeeps.. The jeep sports a reproduction body tub (which I made look original), fenders and hood.”

Here’s an image of the pre-restored Jeep:
